When going into reverse or manually activating parking aid it reports a fault.Running a scan with VCDS says Front Right Center Parking Aid Sensor - Open or Short to Ground.

I have checked the connections (not sure where they are, but removed the front passenger wheel liner that attaches to the bumper and if that's where the connectors are they looked fine. Also checked the fuses.

Its not convenient to take it to Audi (due to distance) so can anyone advise how I cant disable or code the front sensors out using VCDS to stop the fault coming up each time i drive until my yearly service is due at Audi

Thanks

I need a cup holder (the entire fold out unit), and I would say I am going to be needing an aircon replacement very soon ...
Could someone point me in the right direction. I live in Brisbane if that helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (New to the Audi scene ...)

Hi all!

I'm really excited that I'm in the process to purchase a MY16 RS3, coincidently the dealer selling the car is the same dealership that sold me my current car.

I will arrange a pre purchase inspection with a specialist but just want to see if anyone got any info about the car.

they are offering 3 years dealership warranty, but as the dealer is not an AUDI dealer, I have my doubts. (we all have heard dealership trying to make excuses not to fix the issues)

I am trading in my current car and cash their way but the negotiation seemed too smooth to me, that's also my concern (they agreed on my trade in price)

thanks in advance and hope I'm just overthinking, and inspection will pass and excited to join this community.

I've done a Revcheck and everything seems fine too.

My previous car is a MY15 WRX

I've now got the worry of Jetpilot repair guys attempting to craft a new style-line on the rear quarter panel where it's been punched flat, to top it off it's a gloss black repair :S

The wheel took a hit as well FML!

Loving the car so far but when it rains and I turn the windscreen wipers on, the drivers side one jitters. I took it back to Audi Brisbane and they said they knew about the problem, I have taken it back 3 times now with no luck. They replaced the wiper blades and polished the windscreen with some special stuff apparently. They basically told me that's all that Audi recommends so sad to bad.

Really not impressed with Audi or Audi Brisbane seeing as they know it's a problem and basically saying they really have no fix for it. Has anyone else had the issue? If not do you guys think i could ring ACCC and say the car is not working as intended to force them to do something about it? Really can't believe Audi produces a 100k car and can't get the windscreen wipers to work correctly. Really left a bad taste in mouth about ever buying another Audi can tell you that.

I'm new to here, been a long time lurker :p, thought it's the right time to come out of the darkness.

I'm totally new to the Audi Badge, previously a mazda owner... took the deep dive and made the purchase on the 2018 Audi RS3 Sedan mid last year. It's been a sweet 6-7 months of ownership, car's been getting louder the more KMs.

Currently around the 6.5k KMs mark and started noticing a strange periodic clicking noise coming from the engine bay/front, it only happens during startup or gentle driving after startup. However it seems to disappear completely after a few minutes of driving. This is all the while in Comfort mode so it's definitely not the exhaust flaps opening and closing. Also, it seems to prop up randomly so not every startup has this noise.

I took it to the dealer for a oil topup last week (found it drinks like crazy) and mentioned this to them, they seemed to be stumped as the noise is from the front rather than the back; usually people have reported noises due to the exhaust. I've booked it in for a proper checkup by the technicians later this month so will have to wait and see I guess. Hopefully I can still drive it spiritedly till then :-o

In the meantime, thought I might pick some heads here and was wondering if anyone has had this issue? I've read all the threads about the exhaust cold start rattle and it does not seem to be that.

Cheers,
Ken

My Ascari Blue RSQ3 performance was a very, very quick and agile car - we used to describe it as a nuclear powered shopping trolley.
In a kind of mathematical progression I am about to change over to a new Audi S4 - the sedan - and bid all the Audi Three folk a brief farewell.
My most recent retirement from full-time work provided this one opportunity to move across to a new car with five year warranty and free three year servicing thrown in.
Throughout the past years of Audi ownership my local team at Audi Canberra Centre have been beyond reproach and that includes sales, management and the service team.
Yesterday there was a quiet determination not to be outdone by the great sales efforts of the Sydney Mossman Team which was to my benefit.
It resulted in yesterday's agreement to changeover to a new floor stock S4 for a minimal changeover - again with Audi Canberra Centre.
It's blue in colour and with the Technik package has just about everything one could wish for in the technical department and will post photos once in my hands.
I need to have it ceramic coated and tinted and registered before collecting.
Concerning the RS3/RSQ3 folk it also means I have a set of front and rear OEM rotors and rear Red Stuff pads available to anyone who wishes to offer a sane price and can collect from Canberra.
There is also a set of OEM barely worn Pirelli PZeros in 255/35/R20.
Happy and safe motoring everyone throughout 2019.
